A kiss on the cheek shouldn't hurt

Thanks to the Gamma Knife technology at Merit Health, you don’t have to suffer from facial pain (Trigeminal Neuralgia).

People who suffer intense facial pain simply by eating, applying make-up, shaving, or receiving a kiss on the cheek, may have Trigeminal Neuralgia. This nerve condition is often described as an episodic sharp shooting pain, usually on one side of the face and has nothing to do with your teeth or gums.

Luckily, the Gamma Knife Center offers a non-surgical option. This procedure offers precise treatment in one visit, so you can get back to enjoying every day activities like eating, shaving and kisses on the cheek without pain.

Call (601) 376-2074 and schedule your individual evaluation to see if this treatment is right for you. No physician referral is required.
